You may have noticed, I've not been able to keep up with the challenges and winners for Cards for Men of late. I just have family demands that keep me occupied and I have to prioritise. It's been 4 years and with regret, that was the last challenge for Cards for Men. I started this blog to highlight the need to make more of Male cards and I believe that there has been a huge change in the availability of images and accessories specifically aimed at Men's Cards. There's also a lot more dedicated challenge blogs around. Hopefully, we had something to do with that.

I'd like to thank all the Design Team members (past and present) but particularly, Shirley and Patricia who have been around since challenge 1. Thankyou everyone xx

Welcome to the latest challenge, this time sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

To enter, we need to see your magical creations and the winner gets 7 free digis. We are a bit thin on the ground with our Design Team this week, for a variety of reasons. I just thought I'd take this opportunity to say thankyou to them all for their hard work and reliability. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Now that your ideas are spinning, here are the rules:
1. Your card must be for a man or a boy.
2. Your card must be new for this challenge and follow the theme set.
3. Your post must mention Cards for Men and contain a link back to this challenge.
4. You may combine our challenge with others up to a maximum of 10.

The challenge will run from now until midnight BST (British Summer Time) on 13 October 2013. Leave a link to your card (not just your blog) in the link list below. If it's not there for some reason, leave a comment and I'll enter you in before the draw. Good luck
